Audacy To Launch Radio Libre 790/Miami
• Audacy announced it will flip Sports-Talk WAXY-AM (790 The Ticket)/Miami to Spanish conservative talk Radio Libre 790 on Oct. 3, in partnership with Americano Media, the nation’s first national conservative Hispanic network in Spanish.
Radio Libre 790 will feature former Radio Mambi personalities Nelson Rubio, Dania Alexandrino, and Lourdes Ubieta. Americano Media produces 18 hours of original programming each week day, featuring diverse Spanish-speaking hosts from 6am to midnight. As the first Hispanic conservative voice across the spectrum, Americano is bringing the very best in news, politics, culture, and tech to the Spanish-language audience.
“We’re proud to introduce Spanish radio to our South Florida portfolio for the first time ever and empower the voice of so many of our neighbors in this community,” said Claudia Menegus, Audacy Regional President and Miami Market Manager. “With the launch of this station, we aim to not only serve our listeners but give them a reliable home for the news they seek and the information they rely on every day.”
Ivan Garcia-Hidalgo, Founder & Chief Executive of Americano Media, remarked, “The joint endeavor with Audacy is a natural fit for Americano. We provide the best Hispanic news-talk programming in Spanish, with the best hosts covering important current events, and Audacy’s audience is demanding that information. This is the first of many terrestrial radio syndication agreements for Americano, and we look forward to a strong partnership with Audacy.”
